You can't just make stuff up when the rest of us saw the episode too.

Also, her name is YASMIN.

I bet some if not most of these people watched it so I doubt they would do the same thing again.

And yet they did it again on Survivor: Tocantins. Both the idols were hidden in the back of their tree mail statues.

That wasn't really the same thing, in China it was under the flag.

I really hope it's a coincidence because the alternative is too weird. Perhaps her mom was trying for Jasmine?

I'm really surprised no one is calling ben a 'cop killer'.
Can't believe russel found that idol. I'm still on the fence on how I feel about him. I want to hate him, but can't help but think he's playing the game hard and good.

Evil Russell and eye-candy Ashley are the only things making this season at all bearable.

Huh?

She complained about the damp, the cold, the bed, the camp, and the food. You didn't see this?

I was surprised they had a tribal counsel with Mike going down. Maybe it was because there was no reward challenge?

Isn't Yasmin the name of a birth control pill? She would be as good as birth control for me.

Can we please get Russell some real shorts? Dude's been walking around for a week in his boxer-briefs

And a wheelbarrow for his gut.

Agreed. Ben is a twat and I cannot stand him.....but I enjoy watching Russell and his schemes.

I am trying to sit out on survivor after how shitty of a season Big Brother was, but you kind of have to wonder if they are just hypin up Russell's behavior then he will be gone in several weeks.

I can only hope Jaison lets the cat out of the bag and gets folks to blind-side Evil Troll Russell.

And then Jeff would have asked them if they were ashamed for being the first person ever ejected from camp

Maybe that's how they handle a starting total of 20. I figured there would have to be some kind of double elimination sometime.

Jaison seems like the most likable character so far

Wow, so everyone thinks the idol is real?

He was looking for it with people all around him. One person even asked him what he was doing, and he said, "Looking for the immunity idol." I didn't see if he said it to the swimming black guy, but it looked like he said it loud enough for people to here, which would be great strategy if it's fake.

How easy would it be to make a fake idol and letter at home and smuggle it in? People have made them on location, but if anyone brought one with them, they'd be fucking brilliant. The only thing keeping me from being 100% convinced it's fake is the camera showing him grabbing it from inside the stump. But was the camera just sitting in the tree for days? Powered by what? If it was a handheld camera, why wouldn't the entire tribe wonder why a member of the crew was shoving a camera inside the tree when Russell was reaching in? Something about it doesn't add up, and too many things point to it being fake.

It is real.

First of all, if it was fake we would know. They wouldn't let a move like that happen without us knowing. There would be no point for them to hide it from us.

Second, the clue Yasmin received described the exact place where Russell found the idol. She received this clue after Russell had already found the idol.

Lastly, just read Jeff Probst's blog (it's linked somewhere in this thread). He talks about Russell finding the idol and what a good move it was.

Ok, I missed that part. I must have been peeing or something when Grammar School was monologuing.

lol, sorry.

I actually thought you meant Shambo was whining constantly.

My mistake. Read it wrong.

Well, considering that

Wow....thats a big interesting spoiler. How is this known already?

I don't think its really known for sure (though its an educated guess).

Best line of the episode that had me falling out of my chair:

Ben on Yamine: "She can go back to eating her Ketchup Sandwiches and Kool Aid"



Other than that, not shocked that Betsy got the boot. Even though I hate Russell, I'm really impressed how he's playing the game so far. Even more impressed that he found the Immunity Idol with no clue.
